Sleeping help again

Some of you may remember my previous post about my los sleeping problems with me not too sure how to handle it for the past week I've only been on one late and putting her into bed is still challenging the only way I can put her down is to tuck her in back out slowly whilst shushing her and waiting in my room if she gets moany I shush her now my problem is it can take anywhere between 15-40 mins and my partner says I need to let her cry it out so I can out her to bed how he does which is straight away no problems down and she's out because apparently she's expecting him to do the same when putting her to bed need opinions on how to handle this best tia x

Hey
Still in a similar position although lo is currently poorly so wanting more cuddles and more difficult to put down generally.
But I still tend to have to cuddle to sleep and she will just go down in her cot for oh.
If you’re not happy doing cry it out then don’t. This won’t last forever and she won’t need you there always.
Sometimes if i’ve put her down a couple of times my oh has a bit of a battle to get back to their normal but i can’t let her cry personally. He manages that much better than me and it’s his choice when he is putting her down. She is safe and not massively distressed. I just can’t physically leave her so will hug.

Thanks I might seek some help from health advisor, see if they can recommend something she has always been a great sleeper from being 12 weeks we used to out her down and she used to be out like. Alight or would self settle in 5 mins, I started a new job in August which requires me working till 11 most nights as I lock up the shop, she doesn't cry she screams like she's in fear of me leaving or absolutely petrified of something and this has been going on for about 3 months, she won't sleep unless I stroke her face or hold her hand usually takes about half an hour which I'm fine with doing but when she wakes up during the night she also takes a long time to settle if not longer, makes me feel like I've failed
